r6g.8xlarge pricing and specs in Asia Pacific (Mumbai)

32 vCPU · 256 GiB · 12 Gigabit · AWS Graviton2 Processor Graviton

$1.0400/hour on-demand · $759/month (Linux, Shared)

r6g.8xlarge is a memory-optimized EC2 instance with 32 vCPU and 256 GiB, generation 6 of the r family on AWS Graviton (Arm). On-demand it costs $1.0400 an hour, about $759 a month if it runs all month. A one-year commitment with nothing up front works out at $0.6552 an hour and pays for itself above roughly 459 hours a month; below that, on-demand is cheaper. The three-year options go down to $0.3911 an hour, 62% below on-demand. The newer r6a.8xlarge offers the same size for $1.1440 an hour, 10% more. Asia Pacific (Mumbai) is already the cheapest region for r6g.8xlarge.

Newer generations of the same size

Same family letter and size in a newer generation, ranked by price. “vCPU per $” uses vCPU as the performance proxy — newer chips usually add more, so it is a floor.

Caveat: instance price is only part of the bill. Cross-region and internet data transfer, latency to your users, data-residency rules and service availability can outweigh a few percent on compute.
